False Starts

Autor: David M. Ball

Número de Páginas: 245

From Herman Melville’s claim that “failure is the true test of greatness” to Henry Adams’s self-identification with the “mortifying failure in [his] long education” and William Faulkner’s eagerness to be judged by his “splendid failure to do the impossible,” the rhetoric of failure has served as a master trope of modernist American literary expression. David Ball’s magisterial study addresses the fundamental questions of language, meaning, and authority that run counter to well-rehearsed claims of American innocence and positivity, beginning with the American Renaissance and extending into modernist and contemporary literature. The rhetoric of failure was used at various times to engage artistic ambition, the arrival of advanced capitalism, and a rapidly changing culture, not to mention sheer exhaustion. False Starts locates a lively narrative running through American literature that consequently queries assumptions about the development of modernism in the United States.

When the wrong truth is revealed, some secrets must be buried forever. In Delete the Evidence, a single mistake on a rain-slick night ignites an international chase where trust is rarer than the truth. A brilliant but guarded investigator is drawn into an uneasy alliance with a rival whose motives are as sharp as they are unreadable. Together, they navigate shadowed city streets, silent libraries, and crumbling archives, following a trail of stolen documents and vanishing witnesses.

Allies may be enemies in disguise, and every moment wasted brings their pursuer closer. The stakes are nothing less than control over a truth that could rewrite history.
